Fish Rocks

Graffiti or art in the California Desert

Out in the remote California desert, a debate between art, graffiti, and history rages in slow motion at the Fish Rocks (aka "Whale Rocks" or "Fish Head Rocks,"). These painted rocks off highway 178 trace their origins back to the 1930s. Since then, the question of art vs. graffiti has swirled long enough around this rock outcropping. In the 1970s, the fish faces along with other graffiti that had accumulated over the decades were painted over to restore the natural look of the rocks. Yet, the fish faces prevail as various visitors have restored the fish faces through the years.

Dutch Oven Cornish Game Hen

Roast this rosemary cornish game hen and potatoes recipe in a dutch oven over an open camp fire for a classy campground dinner or in your oven at home.

I am always on the lookout for something I can roast over the campfire in my dutch oven. Given that I like to cook over a live fire rather than classic coals, this generally means that I need something that is thick enough to take a sear without turning out well done but thin enough to be cooked through. So, when I saw Cornish game hen on sale after the holidays, I was thrilled. Not only did I have something new, but something well sized for my dutch oven with room for baby potatoes!
